Any recommendations for something receiver ready 50" inch plus?
Are you looking to use the same radio gear on your next plane? If so, I'd send in the radio gear and have it checked out to make sure it wasn't damaged in the crash.
Are you sure you want a foamie? I know, they are cheap(in more ways than one in my opinion), can be glued back together and flown again and again after crashing but, with all that said, if it was me buying something, it would be something like a Sig Kadet or Four Star instead. They are both more durable than a foamie, are both built from birch ply and balsa, can be powered by either nitro or electric drive and can be set up as either three or four channel planes. Here is link to all of Sig's ARFs:
